“…The case of the hydnoid fungus Bankera violascens provides an example of how management interventions can adversely affect threatened fungal species. Discovered in Scotland for the first time in 1996, the species appears to have been extirpated by removal of spruce from the only site where it is known to occur, ironically undertaken as part of the Habitat Action Plan for native pinewoods (Newton et al, 2002b) (although recent observations suggest that this species may occur at another Scottish site).…”

“…Comparison of records made pre-and post-1970 provided little evidence of a decline in hydnoid species (Newton et al, 2002b). A number of locations of early records were re-visited, many of which were still found to maintain populations of hydnoid fungi.…”

“…It is important to understand the drivers of fruit body production because the presence or absence of fruit bodies is the primary measure used to determine the conservation status of fungi. Stipitate hydnoid fungi are ectomycorrhizal fungi which are considered to be rare in the United Kingdom based on infrequent observation of fruit bodies and evidence of declining occurrence across Europe (Newton et al, 2002). It has been noted that these fungi produce fruit bodies sporadically, with sometimes several years between fruit body records (van der Linde et al, 2012).…”

“…The lack of consistent relationships between individual species likely reflects the influence of unmeasured drivers of fruiting. In particular, disturbance has been hypothesised to be a determinant of fruiting for these taxa (Newton et al, 2002).…”

A definitive version was subsequently published in Fungal Ecology (2017), 27 (A). 137-140. 10.1016/j.funeco.2017.03 Main textThe occurrence and abundance of fungal fruit bodies are variable under natural conditions. Where surveys have been conducted in the same area over multiple years, many species are not observed in all years (Sato et al., 2012) and there is often large variation in the number of fruit bodies produced when fruiting does occur (Straatsma et al., 2001; Pilz et al., 2006). It is important to understand the drivers of fruit body production because the presence or absence of fruit bodies is the primary measure used to determine the conservation status of fungi. Stipitate hydnoid fungi are ectomycorrhizal fungi which are considered to be rare in the United Kingdom based on infrequent observation of fruit bodies and evidence of declining occurrence across Europe (Newton et al., 2002). It has been noted that these fungi produce fruit bodies sporadically, with sometimes several years between fruit body records (van der Linde et al., 2012).Using molecular identification techniques it has been shown that stipitate hydnoid fungi can be present and active belowground and not fruit for several years (van der Linde et al., 2009Linde et al., , 2012 Gordon & Van Norman, 2014). This suggests that, for stipitate hydnoids, the sporadic fruiting patterns may be explained by variation in fruit body production between years, rather than rapid turnover of populations.One potential driver of interannual variation in fruit body production is weather. Both the timing and production of fruit bodies have been linked to yearly variation in temperature and rainfall (Krebs et al., 2008; Boddy et al., 2014). There is evidence from previous studies that lagged weather influences on fungal fruiting can be important, for example temperature in previous months or years (Krebs et al., 2008; Ágreda et al., 2016). To narrow down the large ...

“…Sample # 2 was identified as Hydnellum diabolus. Species from this genus have not been well characterized in terms of bioactivity, being primarily studied for their morphology, taxonomy, and conservation [141][142][143][144][145][146] . One study had isolated an anticoagulant, atromentin, from this species 101 , but otherwise it remains unstudied for other biological effects.…”

Exploring growth-inhibitory and immuno-stimulatory activity in British Columbia wild mushrooms and lichens

Four mushroom and two lichen species were collected from selected forests in north-central British Columbia and screened for anti-proliferative and immuno-stimulatory activities. All species investigated were immuno-stimulatory with the strongest activity found in the hot water extracts of Laetiporus sp. and Phaeolepiota aurea. Anti-proliferative activity was primarily seen in the ethanol extracts of Laetiporus sp., P. aurea, Letharia vulpina, Vulpicida canadensis, and Hydnellum diabolus. Using Sevag extraction method, DEAE Sephadex anion-exchange and Sephacryl S-500 size-exclusion chromatography, an immunostimulatory compound was purified from the hot water extract of P. aurea. The purified compound, made up of carbohydrate and protein, has an average molecular weight of 390 kDa. Its carbohydrate component is rich in β-glucan. The compound can stimulate the innate immune system, causing a pro-inflammatory response. Additional studies are required to further characterize its carbohydrate and protein components in an effort to determine whether it is a novel immuno-stimulatory compound.
